Science Explorers’ Young Inventors Kit
Science & Technology

With an adult: Ages 8+ Uunder adult supervision: Ages 12+ The Young Inventors Kit is a child's first step into tinkering and inventing. You don’t need to have gray hair and wrinkles to be an inventor. Children are natural inventors and are curious and imaginative all on their own. Did you know that a child invented the Popsicle or that a 16-year-old invented the trampoline? Encourage your child’s tinkering spirit with this fun and engaging kit as they build an electrical circuit and learn about pneumatics. Your child will be designing, building, and creating for hours on end. They may just invent the next “big thing”. The 175+ piece kit contains tools, adhesives, building materials, craft items, and a 16-page Activity Guide. It is packed with screwdrivers, screws, pliers, 1.5-volt hobby motor, batteries and holder, scissors, wheels, clamps, and much, much more.
